Chapter 531: Take a Risk
"General, now that Chen Qingzhi has suffered a heavy blow, if we continue to pursue, we will definitely be able to take Chen Qingzhi, why stop the attack at this time? Once Chen Qingzhi completely occupies the high ground, it will be even more difficult for us to attack again! A general beside Xiang Yu was very puzzled, looked at Xiang Yu, and asked Xiang Yu.
"Hehe, now Chen Qingzhi occupies the high ground and fights with us, it seems to have an advantage, but in fact, it is not, after the battle just now, Chen Qingzhi and the water they carry have no time to transfer, now Chen Qingzhi They are on the mountain but there is a lack of food and water in their eyes, and they can't last long at all, so we don't need to fight with them at all, we only need to besiege Chen Qingzhi on the top of the mountain, or it won't be long before Chen Qingzhi is naturally self-defeating!" Xiang Yu shook his head when he heard this, and said to the general.
Maybe it's because Xiang Yu has always been overshadowed by his martial arts in all aspects before, so when Xiang Yu said this, the general was stunned for a moment, he really didn't expect that Xiang Yu, who has always been the supremacy of force, would actually fight in such a way, and he didn't react for a while. However, if you think about it carefully, under the current situation, Xiang Yu's approach seems to be much better than directly hitting it.
But to be honest, this general's idea really has some wishes Xiang Yu, marching and fighting only has martial arts and no strategy, it can really only be a reckless behavior, and Xiang Yu didn't know how to use strategy before, just because he has an absolute understanding of his martial arts, and he will consider whether to use absolute martial arts to achieve victory before the battle. According to Xiang Yu's martial arts, there are few strategies that can exceed the effect of directly winning by force, so Xiang Yu has always been directly engaged in frontal combat, not because Xiang Yu does not know how to use tactics, but those strategies are not as effective as direct head-on battles for Xiang Yu, and this siege of Chen Qingzhi can be regarded as one of the very few cases! Moreover, Chen Qingzhi did not have the weakened attribute like Yue Fei, and Xiang Yu's own commander and intelligence were not affected, so it was not impossible to come up with a suitable plan. In Xiang Yu's opinion, Chen Qingzhi was much easier to deal with than Yue Fei.
After receiving Xiang Yu's order, everyone began to arrange around this mountain, and after a while, Xiang Yu's army had completely surrounded this mountain.
"General Ziyun, now that Xiang Yu has surrounded this mountain, what should we do now?" On the mountain, a white-robed ghost pawn looked at Chen Qingzhi and said to Chen Qingzhi.
"Alas! Xiang Yu is planning to trap us here, our army's remaining supplies are almost zero, in this case, we can't hold out for long, at most a few days we can't hold on, now Xiang Yu's army has surrounded us, if we attack head-on, our army will inevitably suffer huge losses, and the success rate now seems to be less than thirty percent, it is too risky. This time it seems that I was really negligent. Chen Qingzhi couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this, his face was full of self-reproach, if it was usual, he would never make such a low-level mistake, coming to this mountain peak, isn't this just forcing the other party to cut off water and food for his own legion.
"General Ziyun don't blame himself, the situation was urgent, no matter who there was no good way, if it was me, I was afraid that I didn't even have the idea of retreating here, but chose to fight with Xiang Yu's army below, if we do that, we are afraid that the whole army will be wiped out below." The white-robed ghost pawn looked at Chen Qingzhi's appearance and couldn't help but say to Chen Qingzhi.
"It's useless to say these things now, the top priority is to quickly come up with a way to deal with it, otherwise if it goes on like this, it is only a matter of time before our army is wiped out, and we must not just sit back and wait for death." Chen Qingzhi shook his head when he heard this, indicating that he didn't have too many thoughts, so that the white-robed ghost pawn didn't have to worry, now the top priority was to quickly come up with a way to deal with it, otherwise, it wouldn't be long before the white-robed ghost pawn would be removed from this world. At that time, the only role of the white-robed ghost pawn is to become a stepping stone for Xiang Yu to become famous, which is something that Chen Qingzhi will never allow to happen, at this time, he must quickly come up with a way to deal with it.
"General, in my opinion, let's just break through and kill to the death! What you just said is only the possibility of success of Sancheng, which is based on the situation of encountering Xiang Yu, and now we are surrounded by Xiang Yu's army, no matter how powerful Xiang Yu is, there is only one person after all, and it is impossible to take care of all places, if we can know where Xiang Yu is located, and pick a place that he has no way to take into account to break through, we will definitely be able to fight a bloody way out. Hearing Chen Qingzhi's words, the white-robed ghost pawn thought about it and said his thoughts to Chen Qingzhi. And his thinking is also very simple, since he can't beat Xiang Yu, don't go to Xiang Yu to fight hard, just pick soft persimmons and pinch them.
"No, this matter is absolutely impossible, even if we can't meet Xiang Yu, the possibility of us being able to kill is very small, Xiang Yu doesn't need to sit down at all, they only need to prepare a few traps for us, waiting for us to take the bait, with the support of the traps, it is enough to drag us until Xiang Yu arrives and destroy us all." This is why I say that the success rate of breaking out of the encirclement is less than 30%, and in any case it must be based on the fact that most of our army has lost. After hearing the words of the white-robed ghost pawn, Chen Qingzhi immediately shook his head without thinking about it, he had this kind of idea before, but it didn't take long for him to veto, since Xiang Yu besieged them here, it was not difficult to prepare a few traps or something by the way, so Chen Qingzhi vetoed the plan to forcibly break through. Moreover, Chen Qingzhi also knows that in terms of martial arts, he is actually a scumbag of war, and if he forcibly breaks through, he will only become a burden, and there are no characters like Lu Bu, Yuwen Chengdu, Li Cunxiao, and Zhao Yun in his army.
"But general, if we don't do this, we will starve to death sooner or later, and then we will completely lose our combat effectiveness, rather than being slaughtered by others at that time, it is better to kill vigorously now, and it is better to die on the battlefield than to starve to death." Hearing this, the white-robed ghost pawn once again persuaded Chen Qingzhi, anyway, there is almost no possibility of living in this situation now, since you have to die, why not choose a vigorous death, at least die a man. It's like starvation, and it's really unacceptable to die in a wreck.
"No, you don't have to forget, now the lord and they are about to arrive, if the lord arrives here, we may not have a chance to turn the tables, now immediately go around to find out if there is anything that can satisfy hunger and thirst, it is really not good to eat leaves and gnaw bark, we have to persevere, hold on until the lord and they arrive here, we will definitely be able to turn the tables in Xiang Yu's hands, from now on to defend here, without my order, no one is allowed to rush down and fight with Xiang Yu and them!" Chen Qingzhi shook his head again when he heard this, the things he had decided would not be easily changed, and then he quickly stood up, gave an order to the white-robed ghost pawns around him, and then, took the lead in leaving the place, searching for anything that could be used around.
After seeing Chen Qingzhi's actions, the white-robed ghost pawn could only sigh helplessly, and didn't say anything, only stood up and went with the other white-robed ghost pawns to search for things that could be used around here, after all, they were just some small soldiers, and the person who could really make decisions was Chen Qingzhi, all they needed to do was to obey Chen Qingzhi's orders.
In the next two days, there has been no movement between Xiang Yu and Chen Qingzhi, Chen Qingzhi did not break through, Xiang Yu did not attack the mountain, neither side made any moves, and completely fell into a state of cold war.
At this time, Lu Rui had also learned about the current situation on Chen Qingzhi's side through Lin Chen, knowing that if it continued like this, it would be very unfavorable to the battle situation, and he had to hurry up to rescue Chen Qingzhi.
"General Puyu, the situation on General Ziyun's side is very dangerous now, how long will it take for us to arrive?" After Lu Rui got the information, he directly found Meng Hui and asked Meng Hui.
"My lord, at our current marching speed, it will take at least six days to arrive." After hearing Lu Rui's words, Meng Heng calculated carefully and said to Lu Rui.
"Six days? No, General Ziyun and they have now been cut off from water and food by Xiang Yu, six days is too long for General Ziyun, can it be faster? Lu Rui shook his head after hearing Meng Hui's words, and said to Meng Hui.
"Lord, our current marching speed is already the fastest marching speed, no matter how fast it is, the physical consumption of the soldiers is also very large, even if we can reach the battlefield at that time, the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced, at that time, not only will we have no way to rescue General Ziyun, even if we can retreat with our whole body, it is another matter." After hearing Lu Rui's question, Meng Heng shook his head and said to Lu Rui.
"It seems that for the sake of today's plan, you can only make dangerous moves, General Puyu, you march at the current marching speed, and try not to delay on the road as much as possible. I'll go to Xiang Yu first, and drag Xiang Yu as much as I can. After hearing Meng Heng's words, Lu Rui did not give any order to force the march to be accelerated, after all, it was really not a wise choice to do so. But Chen Qingzhi's side can't be ignored, even if Lu Rui can abandon the white-robed ghost pawn, it is not a good thing to make many soldiers in the whole army feel cold at that time, so after thinking about it, Lu Rui decided to take the risk and set off alone to drag Xiang Yu.
"Lord, you can't, this matter must not be, that Xiang Yu's attitude towards the lord is known to everyone in the world, if you go alone, Xiang Yu will never let you go." Meng Hui's face couldn't help but change greatly after hearing Lu Rui's words, and he hurriedly persuaded Lu Rui. Originally, Meng Hui was still worried about whether Lu Rui would force him to expedite the march, in that case, he was in a dilemma, and when he was thinking about how to deal with Lu Rui, he didn't expect Lu Rui to directly come to a sentence that he didn't want to hear, at this time, Meng Hui was really anxious.
"Lord, General Puyu is right, we can find another way to rescue General Ziyun, but it is too risky for you to go alone to meet Xiang Yu, if you have three strengths and two weaknesses, all the efforts made by the brothers before will be in vain, think about General Xue Rengui and General Yang Zaixing, these generals who died on the battlefield, their spirits in the sky will also die blindly!" After Meng Heng's persuasion, Lin Chen also started his own persuasion, even Lin Chen, who had been following Lu Rui's side, was taken aback by Lu Rui's actions at this time, he was asking if he was already familiar with Lu Rui, and he generally didn't go back to do things that he was absolutely sure of, and today's actions really subverted Lin Chen's perception of Lu Rui.
"Lin Chen, General Puyu doesn't know, why don't you even know me, you follow me all the year round, you know my style of doing things best, I will never do anything that I am absolutely sure of, although this time it is dangerous, but you can rest assured! Xiang Yu won't kill me, you can't imagine what kind of status Yu Ji has in Xiang Yu's heart, and in the absence of a way to guarantee Yu Ji's comfort, Xiang Yu will definitely not do anything to me. Lu Rui shook his head when he heard this, and explained to Meng Hui and Lin Chen, saying that he was very sure that he would be able to hold Xiang Yu back, and that his life would not be in danger.
"But the lord, you must know that Yu Ji has already been taken by Jing Ke to defect to Cao Cao, and now we don't have the trump card that can stabilize Xiang Yu at all, before you wanted to persuade Xiang Yu The reason why we agreed is because we are here, the lord will not be alone, even if something goes wrong, we can ensure the safety of the lord. But now it is too risky for you to go alone, and if you are not careful, you will give your life there, sorry lord, you have to do such a dangerous thing, I can't agree. When Lin Chen heard this, he changed his previous cynicism, and said to Lu Rui very seriously, and Lin Chen's body changed slightly, and there was a big meaning that if Lu Rui insisted on doing so, he would leave Lu Rui behind.
